Generally, Americans think that
Christian persecution exists somewhere else. It is because the
mainstream media, except for the Fox News network, is not reporting
incidents occurring in the United States.

Maggie's
Notebook website consistently reports Muslim persecution
of Christians wherever it occurs; not just in the Islamic nations,
but increasingly in America, Australia and Europe.

In the United States, in
Columbus, Indiana, three churches were vandalized on the same night.
The words most frequently sprayed were“Infidels!” and “Koran
3:151.” The verse from the Koran states, “We will cast terror
into the hearts of those who disbelieve [or “infidels”] for what
they have associated with Allah [reference to Christian Trinity] of
which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be
the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.”

In this essay of the state of our
Union, the United States, I direct you to an article written byJohn Hawkins (Townhall)
who echoes what I have written from time to time: The United States,
through the encouragement of its founders and what they conceived in
establishing the Rule of Law in the form of the US Constitution and
its guiding principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence
and the Federalist Papers, that We the People and its government,
cannot nor should not be beholden to our tradition of tolerance when
dealing with the intolerant. ...

Associated
Press: More demonstrations in Berkeley, Missouri
concerning the death of an 18-year-old black who pointed a gun at a
police officer. The protests were more peaceful than the previous
night, when a crowd gathered at a gas station, throwing rocks and
bricks. The black community police force is mostly white.

Maybe that should change and one can
see if the same civil unrest will occur when a black police officer
defends himself. The problem of violence is not within the law
enforcement community, but in the community for which they are sworn
to serve and protect.

At Maggie's Notebook, you can read about the history of NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command] that has been continuous since 1955, when CONAD (later renamed NORAD) began receiving phone calls from children to relay their Christmas wish list.

As
time went on the tradition continued and today there is a website where
anyone can track where Santa is on Christmas Eve and other goodies at
the NORAD official site.
Every year they ask for volunteers to perform traditional duties at NORAD for Santa Claus, who has his own website.

… They bring down the full
power of their governments against any who dare stray from the wishes
of leadership. … Worse, the law in these nations is like
Play-Dough, a malleable mush that can be reshaped to suit the
leader’s needs at any moment. With no free and independent press to
hold leaders accountable or educate the masses, most citizens remain
ignorant. They have or are given enough to get by, and some nebulous
“other” is blamed for their lives not being even better. History
has shown us scapegoating is the despot’s best friend. Anger
redirected away from a government worsening their economy and
exacerbating dependence serves to solidify the concentration of power
at the expense of the individual. An already powerful and intrusive
government grows even larger. … The “cult of personality” is
essential for any despotic regime. It is necessary to willingly
absorb the will of people without them knowing it. “Good” flows
from government; “fairness” can be granted by decree; “the
system is rigged” to help the scapegoat of the moment. … Having a
willing partner in the co-opted press means there is no one to sound
the alarm when it comes to small corruptions like cronyism.
Grumblings are quickly silenced, and small corruptions grow.

Michelle Malkin wrote an article about Jeb Bush. I not only agree with it, but also want to point out that we no longer need GOP establishment poster-boy candidates (like Mitt Romney) in order to achieve true reformation back to the constitutional republic for which the Founders created and Benjamin Franklin pessimism when he said, "...If you can keep it".

History, to some, is considered boring
and irrelevant; not realizing that the present becomes history in
just a short time. The past can be an instruction for the path to be
taken presently and in the future. There are those today who view the
US Constitution as out dated, while they enjoy the freedom and
liberty it created and maintained during the history of the United
States.

Once upon a time in the history of the
world, the Celtic culture existed in a place the Romans called
Britannia. They were a people who were close to nature and to
the 'civilized' Roman appeared to be barbarians, that name
also provided by the Romans describing the Celtic people of both
Britannia and regions in Europe and Scandinavia.

When one studies political history at
the beginning of the 20th century in Europe, the ideas of
Karl Marx becomes the political culture that extends in lesser
ways across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Although the
regimes of Hitler, Imperial Japan (fascist theocracy), Spain (Franco
regime), and Italy are based on fascism; it is the political ideology
of Benito Mussolini(1883-1945) who is considered the founder of Fascism. Today, in the United States, the so-called

In recent news about the Democrat-led
onslaught against the CIA for alleged practice of torturing
terrorists, the Obama White House press conference was asked why it
was acceptable to kill people with drones, but “slapping Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is bad”. The Senate report had
suggested that the CIA had lied about their “harsh CIA interrogations”. The Senate investigation has been
ongoing for five years. The CIA has tried to discredit the Senate investigation. The interrogation procedures were
enacted after the 9-11 attacks. In the Senate report it states that the
CIA misled
Congress. Meanwhile, Obama continues using drones with the blessing of Congress.

The House of Representatives barely
approved the $1.1 trillion government spending bill in a 219-206 vote. In a surprising public statement that rebukes President
Obama, Nancy Pelosistated
she was “enormously disappointed” that the president had decided
to embrace legislation that she described as an attempt at
blackmail by Republicans. After protest from some senators
led by Ted Cruz, the
Senate went ahead and passed Obama's $1 trillion spending bill. Will
the US government now make that amount (or more) an annual expense?
It passed
with a 56-40 vote after overruling an objection by Senator Ted Cruz
of Texas. Ted Cruz and other senators pushed for an amendment to cut
off funds to the Department of Homeland Security for carrying out
President Obama's unconstitutional executive action concerning
deportations. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, blocked the measure. Spearheading the investigation is
Intelligence Committee chairwoman, Senator Dianne Feinstein, infamous for her attempt to pass draconian firearm
ban legislation.

Adding to the fact that Congress has stolen from the SS "trust" fund over the decades, here is another reason, along with those who commit fraud, why it is going broke:
After 60 years, condemned Nazi are finally refused social security benefits. The "New Deal" has never been a good deal. Here is a video where an economist shows how much better you can be in private investment that forced social security by government cannot provide:

In a term used in political science,
the 2014 mid-term election was a Wave Election. It is when one political entity makes a major gain
in the House and Senate. It is a phenomenon that not only occurs in
the United States but places like India where a parliamentary system
and one political party makes a major gain as the majority.

News pundits, like Chuck Todd,
the NBC News political director and moderator for Meet the Press at
NBC apparently fell asleep during that session of class. In his
biography he is credited with attending George Washington University
from 1990 to 1994 on a music scholarship playing the French horn, but
his minor was music and his major was political science. He did not
get his degree.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has stepped down two years before the end of
his term due to prostrate cancer. The senator gained a reputation for standing for
principles in legislative matters and was nicknamed “Dr. No”. In his closing remarks in his farewell speech, he warned that he will seek to block or slow debate on
several pieces of legislation before the closing of this year's
congress. He also implied that Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nevada) led the Senate like a tyrant.
The following video is a segment of his emotional farewell speech
where he read the oath of office that few in Congress have adhered
to, he pleaded for the Senate to return to the principles set forth by the
architects of the US Constitution …

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is not seeking reelection and took the
opportunity to speak directly to President Obama at the White House Christmas party.
After pictures were taken and her family walked off stage, she turned
to the president and said:

Mr. President, you need to bomb
the Iranian nuclear facilities, because if you don't, Iran will have
a nuclear weapon on your watch and the course of world history will
change.

Smiling, he laughed and said:

Well Michele, it's just not that
easy.

Michele replied:

No, Mr. President, you're the
president, it will happen on your watch, and you'll have to answer to
the world for this.

The
2016 election isn't just an opportunity to win the presidency. We
need to save our country and our Constitution from the
Chablis-swilling liberal elitists. So it's time to be serious, and by
“serious,” I mean we will have to tell people who we like – and
some we don’t – that, "Hey, you're not going to win, so get
out of the way."

...Dr.
Carson is a great guy with a powerful message who has no business
running for president in 2016. He's never been elected to anything.
He's never run anything besides a hospital.

Stop amnesty and secure border even if
we have to build a wall like in China and like the Great
Wall of China, is designed to keep invaders out – not keep
people in like the Berlin
Wall.

President Obama is not the first to
have an administration that turns its head when it comes to enforcing
immigration laws and protecting our borders.

Over the decades it has become steadily
worse and now the drug cartel of Mexico and Central America has
spread to major cities of the United States creating a crime network
that also can only get worse. In addition, it is not just Mexicans
and Central Americans who cross our border uninvited, but also people
from countries of Islamic Jihadists and on the federal terrorist
list.

Government
is nothing more than the combined Force of Society, or the United
Power of the Multitude, for the Peace, Order, Safety, Good and
Happiness of the People, who compose the Society.

He
also wrote, on page 214:

The
Preservation of Liberty depends upon the intellectual and moral
character of the People. As long as Knowledge and Virtue are diffused
generally among the Body of a Nation, it is impossible they should be
enslaved. This can be brought to pass only by debasing their
Understandings, or by corrupting their Hearts.

Forty-one percent of those chosen by President Obama have no qualifications of being ambassadors, representatives of the United States to foreign nations, other than being big spending supporters and political cronies, as NBC News points out:

President Obama, the apostle of Hope and Change is the worst offender
when it comes to giving political cronies ambassadorships, notes Andrea Mitchell. Yes, Andrea Mitchell. This piece leaves out Noah Mamet, a Democratic political consultant and
fundraiser who was chosen as ambassador to Argentina despite not only
never having been there, but not speaking Spanish. No one else could do this job? Argentina is not a small nation. Are we
really lacking in this country for people who speak Spanish?

Of course, after leaving Ambassador Stevens high-and-dry in Benghazi - who would want to be President Obama's ambassador? A matter that Congress has not fully addressed, investigated, or pursued justice since September 11, 2012.
Frankly, President Obama is not the first to appoint ambassadors just for their qualifications, but for their political loyalty. It is just that Obama has the highest record of any president appointing incompetent people in his administration.
No matter who is president, ambassadors play an important role in representation of the United States that include diplomatic and national security issues. Hopefully they have undergone the proper security clearance background check.

You will find that it either matches or exceeds
what you pay in rent or mortgage payments each month. Those insurance
premiums cover your vehicle, your home (or renter's insurance), life
insurance, and health insurance. Another reason for the Affordable
Care Act's failure. It does not address the issues and reasons
why health care is so costly. In the case of health care insurance,
despite its high-cost premiums – they only pay out 80%, which means
that you are not just paying too much per month for premiums, but
when having a stay at a hospital (where it costs $500 just to walk
in), you are also paying 20% of the bill.

Former Deputy Secretary of Defense,
Ashton B. Carver is expected to be nominated for position of
Secretary of Defense. He is a physicist with alleged experience in
national security issues. If confirmed he will succeed Chuck
Hagel, a former Nebraska senator who is being pushed out of
office by the White House after less than two years as Secretary of
Defense. Hagel is a Republican. It has to do with the escalated US
military actions in the Middle East. The White House spokesman
declined to confirm that Carter was the president's choice,
Washington
Post reported. The official announcement is expected this
week.
